We built ourselves a world
That we abandoned
One second's enough
For it all to go up in smoke
If the heart's right
Then we're both wrong
I keep holding up the walls
There's nothing left to save
You gave everything for me
Happiness was at my fingertips
Your eyes still say it
You don't look at me like before
Even all the love in the world
Can't fix us
I know it's too late
We can still pretend
But all the love in the world
Can't fix us
I crumple my dreams
The ones where I hide my regrets
I break the mirrors
So I don't see your reflection anymore
I crumple my dreams
The ones where I hide my regrets
I break the mirrors
So I don't see your reflection anymore
You slammed the door
You were right, I didn't do my part
In this game I'm the only one losing
I wasn't the one you were waiting for
Yesterday you were still so close to me
Every night I tell myself 'if only'
All of a sudden I feel so alone in the world
Alone in the world
You gave everything for me
Happiness was at my fingertips
Your eyes still say it
You don't look at me like before
Even all the love in the world
Can't fix us
I know it's too late
We can still pretend
But all the love in the world
Can't fix us
I crumple my dreams
The ones where I hide my regrets
I break the mirrors
So I don't see your reflection anymore
I crumple my dreams
The ones where I hide my regrets
I break the mirrors
So I don't see your reflection anymore
I crumple my dreams
I break the mirrors
I crumple my dreams
I break the mirrors

SONG MEANING

Reflet is M. Pokora’s heart-on-sleeve confession about a love that slipped through his fingers. In just a few verses he paints the picture of two people who once “built a world” together, only to see it crumble in a single second. The singer admits his own mistakes, realizing that even all the love in the world cannot glue the relationship back together. We feel the weight of regret as he crumples his dreams and shatters mirrors so he no longer has to face the reflection of what was lost.

Beyond the sadness, the song is a raw lesson in accountability. Pokora owns up to “not doing his part,” showing learners how French expresses remorse and self-reflection. Through vivid imagery and emotional vocabulary, Reflet turns heartbreak into poetry, reminding us that love is powerful but self-awareness is essential if we want it to last.
